dot-emacs VS AutoKey

For example, I don't know what "vertico, consult, embark, marginalia, and orderless" is exactly, they're not part of my setup and I guess I don't want them to interfere with it.

You can find further optimizations on https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org when searching for "mode-line".

You're looking for org-expiry and its (org-expiry-insinuate) as you can see in my config: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

You don't have to repeat yourself; it is more about how you write. Literate programming lets you mix different languages as well as text and the code. Check for example Karl Voits. The only remark I can make is that some defvars don't need the comments, since they are written as self-documenting code. For example, 'large-file-warning-threshold' certainly does not need a comment which basically repeats what the name says, but that is not so unusual to see even amongst programmers sometimes.

For the very same reason, I started to use hydras: https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra - see my config at https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

The same configuration using Emacs 27.1 also does not have this weird behavior.

Maybe somebody has an idea what I might change in my large setup in order to get rid of this issue ...

For linking to contacts, I started to use a custom link contact: which I don't use any more since I've found org-super-links which enables me to link to any heading quite fine including contacts.

My personal notes on any task or project are way more verbose than the information curated in shared business environments. I therefore invest work and keep a local Orgdown structure and sync a subset of information manually. I define custom links to Jira, emails, and all other external sources to keep links from my Orgdown files to everything else. This way, my only truth is within my personal knowledge management which simplifies search.

My personal approach is a static list of Orgdown files within a single directory (with very few exceptions) and a manually curated list of agenda files.

I use AutoKey on Linux. It's less powerful than AHK but uses native Python which is nice: https://github.com/autokey/autokey

On Linux, the more direct equivalent to AHK is the similarly named AutoKey. AHK itself is never going to be cross-platform, due to the low-level it interacts specifically with Windows, but AutoKey is the Linux equivalent, designed to interact low-level with Linux in a similar way to AHK on Windows.

You can also try remapping mouse buttons. I use autohotkey to remap the middle clock to the right click. Autohotkey is windows only, but there is autokey which might help if you are a heavy middle click user like me
